Mrs. Fava's Easy Potatoes
A super delicious oven-baked side dish that will compliment any meal, perfect for breakfast lunch, or dinner
Equipment
- long shallow baking dish o long shallow throw away tin
Ingredients
- 6 Russet/ baking potatoes peeled & sliced into thin rounds
- 1 Vidalia onion sliced into crescent shapes
- Olive oil just enough to coat potatoes so they don’t burn
- Paprika to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Set oven to broil 500 degrees then toss thin sliced potatoe rounds, onions, seasoning & oil in a long shallow baking pan.
- Be sure to spread potatoes/onion mixture in the pan so it is almost a single layer. Thouroughly mix everything together with hands or utentsel.
- Bake on broil (500) for 30 min, mixing around every 10-15 mins. After 30 min mark, check that your potatoes are not too hard still; some of the potatoes will be very potatoe chip like some may be soft. As long as they arent burnt to a crisp or super hard they are ready for the next step.
- Next drop oven to temp to 400, bake for another 20 min, checking in 10 mins, giving a good mix.
- After the 20 min mark is up your potatoes should be like home fries, in between soft and chip-like! If you like them more crunchy, hike the heat back to broil for a short time until they are to your liking.
Notes
Be careful on broil, everyone's oven is different this is what I do with my oven, if your oven tends to run hot check them more frequently.
If you like them crispy hike the heat back up to broil at the end but keep a close eye on them.
Can stay fresh in the fridge in an airtight container for 4 days.
To reheat, add a bit of olive oil to a frying pan and cook on medium heat until hot.
These are a great breakfast potato, so when making for dinner save some for the next morning, you will thank me!
You can easily swap out the seasonings to compliment any meal.
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled just keep in mind they bake better in a shallow long pan in a single of a layer as you can get them.
